My Dad - Surgery Update #3

Just a quick note - dad is doing well. The name for the mass is: Cystic Pheochromocytoma.

I just had another crohn's flare and was in the hospital Tues 7/15 - Sat 7/19. My WBC count was high in my blood and stool but they didn't find any bacteria - which is good. I got IV Cipro, Flagyl, and steroids. They sent me home on Prednisone but luckily I'm already on a weaning schedule - I hate steroids! I also REALLY hate oral Flagyl and must remember to try and avoid it in the future at all costs!

Grammy's doctors are working on confirming that her pulmonary hypertension isn't a heart issue. It looks like she may have to have a lung transplant in the near future if this is the case - NOT GOOD! :(

My head is exploding but I did get the bills paid today - whew!

Adam and Lauren arrive on the 28th; I got Ben's office fixed up for them yesterday. Adam will be staying with us for a couple of months while he finds a house here - yes, he's moving back to Houston! As far as I know Lauren, his fiance, will be moving out here when things are more settled.

Happy belated 3rd b-day to Michael and 6th b-day to Alex! Where has the time gone???
